💦 We used to rely on heavy downpours every summer into autumn to replenish our water supplies for the drier months. But based on rainfall trends, we may see less rain when it’s most needed: during these hot months. We need to share the water we receive while ensuring there’s enough to sustain the fragile ecosystems in our forests, rivers and creeks. We're working to raise Clarrie Hall Dam to secure our water supply for the future growth of the Tweed - but it remains important we don’t use more than our fair share. We're asking our community to make some simple changes to use just 160L water a day, so we all do our bit to ensure there's enough to go around. ℹ️ Visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/target160 for more info.

Business owners of the Tweed are invited to the NSW Small Business Month - Northern Rivers NSW Small Business Month Expo – Northern Rivers. 📅 When: 1 pm – 7 pm, Tuesday 15 October 2024 📍 Where: Twin Towns Clubs & Resorts, Wharf St, Tweed Heads ‼️ Registration: This is a free event but registration is required 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wNxKB ➡️ If you haven't already, join the Tweed business community in our Succeed in the Tweed business owners Facebook group https://brnw.ch/21wNxKA and stay up to date with business news, chat with other business owners and find out about local business events.

We are pleased to announce that Council’s proposal to raise Clarrie Hall Dam by 8.5 metres has reached a critical juncture with the supporting Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) now on public exhibition by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. This is a pivotal moment for the future of Tweed’s water security, and we invite everyone to review the EIS and submit their feedback through the NSW Planning Portal: https://brnw.ch/21wNra4. The exhibition end date is Wednesday 6 November 2024. For more details on the EIS and information on how to make a submission, please visit: https://brnw.ch/21wNra5. View a hard copy of the EIS at our Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads offices, or access the documents digitally via the NSW Planning Portal. Raising Clarrie Hall Dam is a strategic initiative that would nearly triple its capacity, securing a reliable water supply for the Tweed until at least 2065. We encourage you to engage in this process and contribute to a decision that will shape the future of our community. #WaterSecurity #ClarrieHallDam #PublicConsultation #SustainableInfrastructure
